all i know is that drugs took me down a bad road and i seen stuff that, you know, you just, you ain t got no business being around. since his arrest 11 days earlier, giroux has been housed in a single-person segregation cell where he is locked down 23 hours a day and has none of the privileges afforded other inmates. i put him in segregation from the moment he got here because of combative nature and the way he was acting. we just couldn t there was no way that was going to happen that he goes to general polaon pod. giroux s bookg on the night of his alleged crime spree was captured by jail surveillance cameras. the process is uneventful until a short time later when giroux is in a holding cell and begins punching the door. moments later, he removes the drawstring from his shorts and ties it around his neck. when staff notice, they assume it could be a suicide attempt and swarm him in order to remove
And so we had to do something about that. the first step was housing gallop in a one-man segregation cell. now, even though he has an open case in a nearby court, jail officials have appealed to the state prison system to take him back where he can be better managed. we don t like to keep inmates in segregation for extended periods of time. we know that it s not good for their mental health. we have been working on a transfer for him to the state for about four months. and they said no twice, and this past time they said yes. sometimes they will accept inmates if they are extremely violent here, and there s nowhere else where we can put them. gallop will now transfer to state prison while he awaits trial on his charges. how long he ll stay depends on the outcome of his case. if i m found guilty they re probably going to give me 15 years. if i m not found guilty, then i go home next year. hopefully, you know, i get not guilty. you got to survive one way or another. i ve just got
The primary challenge facing staff at san antonio s bear county jail is managing the lives of 3,500 men and women. who for the most part would rather be almost anywhere else. they all require attention. but some inmates require far more attention than others. it has been one month since he attempted to hang himself in his cell. tell me your name. talk to me. after a brief hospital stay, after a brief hospital stay, guerra is now back in the segregation cell where he will be closely watched. he will be monitored. and pretty much watch him, every 15 minutes. we check on him. just keep a pretty watchful eye on him. that day what were you

Hand in his face, and thompson strikes back. i punched him in the mouth like four times, and then he tried to take another tray and pour it over top of my head. and then i got him in a headlock, and i just choked him out. other inmates step in to break up the fight when an off-camera officer arrives and threatens to use pepper spray. after initial interviews with both inmates, staff identified reeves as the aggressor and temporarily assigned him to a single-person segregation cell. damn. they allowed thompson to return to his dormitory. it was really a bully situation, like what you would see on a commercial, you know, about kids bullying. look at him, cool, laid-back type person. you know what i m saying? till people starting on my nerve, i can get an absolute problem. he hit me first.
